I'm not familiar with that mount, but I've been happy with the Aimpoint clone I purchased from Primary Arms. It doesn't feel as robust as my Aimpoint, but it was 1/4 of the price.

I hope so, mine is going on a 74. I don't really like how they look (the ultimak/sight) to be honest, but I feel its more important for me to able to use the rifle closer to its potential lol. It just seemed 89.99 was to good a price for me to pass up and the c&r discount took off like 20 at brownells on the ultimak.

I am a fan of Primary Arms as well. I own both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 micro red dots offered by them. While they are not aimpoints , for the price they are fantastic.Great company to do business with. I highly recommend checking them out.
Ive always been curious to how the TRS and PA micros compare so since they are on sale i went ahead and ordered one to try out on a new rifle. |

Sorry I'm a n00b. |

I went ahead and purchased the Bushnell TRS-25 from Cabela's. I decided on it because it was a little cheaper and I can do free site to store shipping since I have a Cabela's in my area. The real kicker is it will be easy to return if I'm not impressed.

I received my TRS this past friday. I was liking it until i tried to mount it. The supplied mounting screw stripped out using the included tiny allen wrench when mounting. I did not roid-rage tighten it either, it was just getting firm to where you would feel it make contact and tighten up, and that was it. I would simply have Bushnell send me another screw or find one at the home depot but that was not the only problem. The elevation turret has no audible or tactile clicks what so ever. Windage turret works as it should. I guess i just got a dud. Its going back to Cabelas.

I was very happy with the ultimak and the trs-25. Above poster are you sure there were no clicks? Mine had clicks but they were very small, and they did not make a noise but I could easily feel them.

Looks like the Gen 7 is replacing the Gen 1? Which battery type is this model using? What is the estimated battery life?
Thinking I'm going to have to order one of these. I've been patiently waiting for several weeks now, hoping the Gen 1's would be offered again. |

I've been patiently waiting for several weeks now, hoping the Gen 1's would be offered again. We still use the common CR2032 battery but the battery life is vastly improved. The factory says 3,000+ hours at a medium setting. That is over 100 days. We have several on at the shop but it is going to be a while before we can confirm. Marshall |

I just ordered that PA micro7/ultimak combo. I'll mount it on my SA-M7 and report back after the range trip.
I gave up on the Cabelas TRS25 deal since they've been out of stock for some time. I might try to hit the store near me in a couple days to buy one on backorder for the $79 deal they have going. I'm guessing I could have a head-head comparison in a month or 2. I'll throw the loser on the FN SLP since it looks like the rail height is comparable. |

this scope mount from KVAR that will attach to my side mounts on my WASR 10-63... http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=16166&cat=381&page=1

You will not be even close to cowitness with that mount. The Ultimak allows a very nice cowitness with the micro dot type optics.

It's not an issue with removing the optic to use the irons - it is a training issue that you fire the gun differently with your head in different places.
If you have cowitnessed irons you hold the gun and your body in the same position no matter if you are using the irons or your optic of choice. This is crucial to prevent problems when switching between the two. |

Well at any rate my newly aquired AK is for fun...my decked out AR15's have all the bells and whistles...They would be go to weapons for SHTF. My AR15's Pic I ordered the Mount and a Primary Arms Red Dot for my WASR....
